A History of Peel County: To Mark Its Centennary*
Hanging in the Brampton High School is a portrait of William James Fenton, B.A., long-time and much loved principal of the school. It is the work of the distinguished portrait painter, the late Albert Curtis Williamson.
Mr. Williamson was born in Brampton and later studied in Paris under Cormon and at the Academie Julien. His exceptionally fine portraiture secured him the award of the Silver Medal at the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition, St. Louis, in 1904.
